Deal alert / Elton John: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road box set

Elton John‘s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road super deluxe edition box set was released almost a year to the day and despite the modest proportions of the package it was a reasonably generous set even at full price. Now however you can pick up this 4CD+DVD+hardcover book package from Amazon Italy for less than £20!
Yes, Elton’s 1973 classic in its 2014 box set form is just €27 or a little over £19.

Thanks for the Alert. My copy arrived this morning from Amazon Italy. First time I had taken up the offer of an overseas alert and found it no hassle at all. I had wanted this item since its release and nabbed it at half the price last Thursday. Well done SDE for bringing us these fantastic deals.

@Francis, there is no hassle in using non-UK amazon sites…Your account/user/password works just the same for all of them (all except for Japan, but they’re hardly likely to be offering bargains) You don’t need to do different anything at all…

The modest P+P cost is always factored in by SDE in considering whether they think it’s a good deal or not.. Of course, you make the final decision, and the total price is always stated before you commit to buy, so please don’t be worried about ordering from non-UK amazon..

Amazon prices are constantly going up and down, even with pre-orders. It is a right pain in the a**! I ordered a CD collection at a low pre-order price only for it to drop even more the day it was released! As for ordering the Elton John Set or any other “so called” deals from a non UK Amazon website, surely you have to go through all the hassle of registering with them plus there would be shipping costs, so maybe not that great a deal after all.

Anyone know why when I translate the site to English the price changes to GBP but not at a converted rate i.e. price is now €44.11 and when translated it shows as £44.11? Should I just leave the page in its original language and put the item in my basket and hope it converts correctly to GBP? I clocked Roxy Music’s Complete Studio Recordings for €58 and hoped to get it for £41 but when translated it showed at £58. Confused (it doesn’t take much).

Hi William… the £ sign is chrome (presumably) trying to ‘translate’ the currency symbol for you. You are still seeing the Euro price (as you deduced) but now with a £ sign. It’s a bit confusing at first, but you get used to it after a while! Once you do add to basket and check out the actual price in sterling (ie a lower price) will be clear. Hope that helps, Paul

Glad you managed to get it for that great price.
I know what you mean, this week alone I have bought the Simon and Garfunkel box set and today the Roxy Music one, but both for great prices.
Now I am thinking of getting the Nilsson box set.
